There were thousands and thousands of dead herring everywhere on the coast Norway for two days – and then they mysteriously disappeared.

The dead fish first appeared on New Year’s Eve, leading to speculation that predators might have driven a huge school ashore or the fish could have been washed onto the beach by a powerful storm that hit Norway on Christmas Day.

WWN once again turned experts at the U.N. Panel on Extraterrestrials. Dr. Susan Begley spoke to WWN last night.

“This is a similar event that happened last New Year, but it seems have escalated. Last New Year, dead blackbirds dropped from the sky in Arkansas and dead herring came ashore in Norway, the pattern was repeated this year – only the numbers are far greater.”

Dr. Begley said that the U.N. has concluded that the herring (and the blackbirds) were killed by aliens from Planet Gootan. “There are two alien species that have been inhabiting the earth in the last fourteen months. The Zeebans are peaceful and docile beings here to help humans, and the Gootans are here to attack us. The dead herring appear to be the work of the Gootans – they are sending another warning to citizens of earth.”

Is the U.N. planning on taking an action against the Gootans?

“We have be planning an international strategy to deal with all extraterrestrials living peacefully on our planet and have come up with a strong military solution to handle any attack. The planning of the defense of earth has brought world leaders together for the first time.”

Back in Norway, locals were wondering how to clean up the estimated 60 tons of dead fish on the beach in Kvaenes, near Tromsoe, north of the Arctic Circle, before it decayed. But before they could start, the fish disappeared.

What happened to them?

“The Gootans are playing with us, that’s all I can say,” said Dr. Begley.
